15.2.5 Multiple Plot Windows

creates two figures, with the first displaying a sine wave and
the second a cosine wave. Figure numbers must be positive integers.

Command: figure

Command: figuren

Function File: figure(n)

Function File: figure(…, "property", value, …)

Function File: h =figure(…)

Create a new figure window for plotting.

If no arguments are specified, a new figure with the next available number
is created.

If called with an integer n, and no such numbered figure exists, then
a new figure with the specified number is created. If the figure already
exists then it is made visible and becomes the current figure for plotting.

Multiple property-value pairs may be specified for the figure object, but
they must appear in pairs.

The optional return value h is a graphics handle to the created figure
object.
